Demand for Good
Horses.

Any one who is at all familiar with the
amount of work IN large city which
must be done with horses, will readily
understand, when he considers what
growth cities have made during the past
twenty Years. why it is there has been
such constantly increasing demand for
good horses There are certain classes of
work tor which there is no substitute for
horses. and this will remain so. There
need be no fear that the market will ne
oyerstocked with good horses. particular
~ with that class needed for moving
heavy loads. 1t is the rapid growth of
the business requiring good, strong, active
rait-hOrses that has made such a demand
fol- imported draft-stallions IN all parts of
the country. This demand, instead Of
falling off, as many have predicted it
would. has increased each year. and the
indications are that the impor'ations tor
the coming twelve months will number
more than for any previous year. The
demand for lighter horses of good quality
makes the breeding of these profitable
also. With all the facilities afforded now
for raising horses that command a ready
81 lie at good prices. there is no excuse
for the farmer who still persists in breed
ing low grade of horses. Stock

Value of Grass.

In this country, as rule, pastures can
nardlv be said to receive any care. No
crop gets less attention and none would
respond more quickly to good care. Much
attention has been given to premium crops
of corn. wheat, potatoes, the Improvement
of horses, cattle, sheep, and swine. poul-
try growing is encouraged by liberal
premiums, but we seldom hear of a
premium crop of grass. 1t seems prac-
tieable to double the present yield without
an outlay at all corresponding to the in
creased value of the crop. Is there any
good reason WHY a farmer should not be.

seeds and in the after treatment OF mea.

The Education of Our BOYS.

The farmer who has sons to train to be
his assistants, and hopes to see them love
the calling, and take the care from his
shoulders when he is old should take
great pains to instruct them in the best
way of doing things. Teach them to look
for reason for all they do. Iii much
easier to tom right habit than to break
up a wrong. careless one; and the boy
who learns to do well all that he does viii
not only be more successful as farmer,
but will love his calling more. TO one

becomes familiar with nature. the If" @"

The indications now are that Maine will
harvest large hay crop this season; but
IL is a question if smaller crop is not
better tor our farmers than large one.
When we have an abundant crop it brings
less money into the State for the surplus
sold than does a small crop sold at a
higher price while large yield carries
off from our farms in loss of nutritive
matter from the soil more value than the
low price for large crop returns.
